Cinnamon Roll Saturday (with recipe)

Rainy day baking happiness Recipe: https://justwhatweeat.com/cinnamon-rolls-gluten-free-vegan-refined-sugar-free-yeast-free/ Notes: I subbed sorghum flour for millet and used half coconut sugar half unrefined cane sugar (because I ran out of millet flour and coconut sugar). I used almond milk instead of coconut milk for the same reason. Also, use an 8x8, rather than 9x13 pan.

Post- Christmas Pancakes: Holiday Nog Edition

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I ended up with quite a bit of leftover holiday nog. I love the taste of holiday nog - whether it tastes like eggnog or not, I wouldn't know- but two cartons is a bit much for one person to drink.
